I started out with a Rambouillet, later got a Hilsen and then purchased a used QB frame. I sold the Rambouillet and was gonna use the money from that for a Hunqa or Hillborne. What I really wanted was an Atlantis but then other expenses hit and I just got an LHT frame which I'm very very happy with and built up with Riv/Nitto parts. Love the bike. Of course right after I purchased the LHT a used Atlantis in my size--64--came up for sale. Ironically it was from one of the guys at the shop I purchased the LHT from. Go figure. So yeah, I wanted an Atlantis but got a Surly LHT. It's a high class problem.
I should also add that a good friend of mine built me a dedicated rando bike for a very good price. I'm very happy with that bike. I imagine over the winter I'll dump more money into that--dyno hub and maybe cassette wheelset and RH cranks. I have to admit that after 4yrs of randonneuring it's nice to have a dedicated rando bike with integrated rack, fenders and low trail geometry. If I could only keep one bike in my stable it would be the AHH. Two and it would be the AHH and the LHT, those are really all the bikes I need. If money wasn't an issue I'd totally order up a custom Rivendell but that just isn't gonna happen... --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
